>Environment:
System: NetBSD whoever-brings-the-night.aprisoft.de 8.99.1 NetBSD 8.99.1 (WHOEVER) #156: Mon Jul 24 09:58:27 CEST 2017 martin%seven-days-to-the-wolves.aprisoft.de@localhost:/work/src/sys/arch/sparc64/compile/WHOEVER sparc64
Architecture: sparc64
Machine: sparc64
>Description:

Neither the modload(8) nore modules.conf(5) man page give any examples of
lines usable for loading modules or to put into /etc/modules.conf.

While 

	modload /stand/sparc64/8.99.1/modules/ntfs/ntfs.kmod 

seems to work for me right now, of course I don't want to hard wire the
version number, and both the existing sysctl for the path and the modload(8)
man page hint at a relative path to be usable.

However, none of the obvious things did work for me:

	modload ntfs/ntfs.kmod 
	modload ntfs.kmod 
	modload ntfs


>How-To-Repeat:
see above

>Fix:
n/a
